The Keystone Media Awards reinforce excellence by individuals in the news media profession, by recognizing journalism that consistently provides relevance, integrity, and initiative in serving readers and audiences, and faithfully fulfills its First Amendment rights/responsibilities. Further, the Keystone Media Awards stimulate journalists to improve their craft and ultimately improve their community.
Beginning in 2020, the Keystone Press Awards and the PAPME News Excellence Awards have been merged to create the Keystone Media Awards, featuring categories from both contests as well as the AP Broadcast Awards. All entries must be submitted through the Keystone Media Awards online contest system.
Entries are now being accepted in the 2021 Keystone Media Awards Contest!
All entries must be submitted online via our contest system, BetterBNC. Deadline to submit entries and online payments is 11:59 p.m., on Monday, February 1, 2021. Mail-in payments must be received at the PNA Foundation by Friday, February 5, 2021.
